Best Brand/Quality Wiring Harness and Installation Kit

[TheNextEpisode]

I grab all my stereo wire from cars at the junkyard.


Speaker cable and RCAs are free. I got a 20-ish foot length of 4 ga wire for 3 dollars.

Metra install kits are far superior to Scosche kits. You'll find Scosche at Walmart, you'll find Metra at Best Buy, Ultimate Eletronics, Crutchfield.com, etc.

Buy the Metra kit. The plastic is more dense, so less flex, which means the head unit will be supported better. The Metra kit also includes a plastic piece that holds up the rear end of the stereo, above the pocket, so it doesn't sit in the dash at an upward angle. The Scosche kit does not include this.

As for the wiring harness; Scosche harnesses are fine, but they come universal for multiple makes/models (e.g; Honda, Suzuki, etc), which means it has two actual plug heads on it. Metra has just one plug head unit. With your head unit, either will work fine. With, say, a double din, or a head unit that has a deeper mounting depth, the Metra harness is preferred, since it takes up less space in the dash.

With wiring, for an amp or speakers, I always use wiring from www.knukonceptz.com They sell high quality cable at a very affordable price. Actually, they strand their own wire and fit it into jackets in-house.
